QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Do you need a drivers lisence to drive this moped?
Hi there,
You would need either a provisional and a CBT to ride the 28mph version, a driving licence from before February 2001, or a driving licence from after Feb 2001 and a CBT. For the version with a higher top speed you would definitely need a driving licence and a CBT.
